 Whether decoding Data Matrix symbols, reading text with Optical Character Recognition (OCR), or performing product inspection with machine vision, Industrielle Sensorsysteme Wichmann (ISW) GmbH has been meeting demanding applications with high-performance, turnkey automation solutions for over 20 years. ISW has a legacy of enabling complex automation tasks at all stages of production in industries from automotive to pharmaceuticals to packaging with over 5,000 systems installed internationally. A Microscan Vision Select Partner, ISW integrates Microscan barcode reading and machine vision technology into its systems to enable product tracking, traceability, and quality control processes that allow companies to reduce waste, increase production speed, and ensure quality products through automation.
The solutionNon-contact inspection and measurement is essential in many areas, but it is also difficult to achieve with manual processes and human operators. In image processing, a camera system replaces error-prone human operators and functions continuously at a consistently high level of quality and precision. The image processing system shown here measures ampoule strips and monitors the content and processing of the product. The automation of this inspection process ensures high quality and minimises costs resulting from production defects.
